Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

Re: subpoena

Dear Reader:

In examining this response, please note that we are not entering into an attorney/client relationship, that this is to be taken as informative, and not as legal advice, that it is always best to speak to a lawyer in your area and/or in the area where the transaction and/or events occurred, and that my answer is necessarily limited by the fact that I have not seen the documentation or had an opportunity to go over the matters with you in detail.

It is possible to avoid turning over your tax returns if you make a "motion to quash" but this doesn't go over too well with judges except in unusual cases.

The garnishment rate in New York is 10%. I believe this is on the gross, not on the net, and it includes all wages and commissions.

Your employer probably will not want to fool around with an angry creditor by doing something illegal like paying you off the books. That will get the employer in hot water too.

Good luck.

As I mentioned before, this is something that you will want to take up with a lawyer of your own selection, either in your state or area or in a place where some of the pertinent events occurred.
